president bush decides after 9/11 that we have to go to war in afghanistan and iraq. and that means we're going to have to spend billions of dollars that we hadn't accounted for. if we had a balanced budget amendment, we wouldn't have been able to do that without raising taxes significantly. there's no way we could have cut spending quickly enough to be able to finance going to war. so there are some contingencies that make a balanced budget something that we should think twice about. you know, there's another great saying, be careful what you wish for. and we don't want to get ourselves in that hole. but if we had a federal capital budget, which would allow us to do our long-term investing offline, not on the operating budget, it might be something to be considered. but not now and not for politics. and it doesn't have anything to do with the short-term problem of getting ourselves out of the deficit. if we had a balanced budget amendment that passed in the next two years, we'd have to make massive cuts and huge tax increases to balance the budget in year three. ther

i would've made different decisions about afghanistan. i would've gone with joe biden spend which is more like katrina is described but i don't know everything. they know things i don't know. the fact is that the choice is not between war and peace. the choice is between war and massacre in many cases. i'm hopeful that this will turn out to prevent a massacre and prevent war at the same time. it may not but none of us know that. it's anti-intellectual and it's kind, there's a moral, to act as if you know that one evil is better than any other viewpoint because it's impossible to know that. plotnick. >> more applause. >> let me ask one final question and then we'll open it up to the audience. i'm just curious looking forward to 2012, you know, with this possibility that a takeover of all three branches of government theoretically by the republica republicans, can democrats afford to squabble? is this a time to be closing the ranks and supporting the president, or how much fighting can progressives have? over the next couple of years.

we entered wars in iraq and afghanistan. but i think after 9/11, there was an understanding in congress the debt ceiling was raised during those years. >> right. >> now, the public is -- you know, really the place where the far right of the republican party, the tea party caucus, if you will, the traditional republican establishment and the vast majority of independent voters, the place where there is the most consensus among those groups is around the size and the cost of the federal government. so certainly drawing a line in the sand against increasing this country's debt and against raising taxes is not an extreme position. it actually represents the desires of the mainstream of america. >> james, the president painted out to be the pragmatic centrist here. he said i'm willing to make the liberals angry too. but we have to get something done. he's in a tough position right now. how does he sort of find a way to reconcile this with this countdown ticking? >> well, i think he is in a tough position and i think a lot of repu

taxpayer money may be missing in afghanistan. our pentagon correspondent chris lawrence is here with the details. chris, how is this possible? >> reporter: because of a complete failure of oversight on the parts of the departments of treasury, state and defense, just a complete corruption in afghanistan. look, this federal audit shows that ten years into this war, the u.s. still only has limited visibility over what happens to billions of dollars once we send the money to afghanistan. the inspector general says that makes the money vulnerable not only to fraud but even worse being diverted to insurgents. the u.s. spent more than $70 billion on security and redevelopment in afghanistan, but, again, this audit shows as much as $10 million may be smuggled out of afghanistan every day. how does that happen? whenever afghan government officials leave the country no one checks how much money they are carrying with them. again the audit shows afghan officials have no plans to scan their cash through those electronic currency counters. t
